Old Louisiana Bedspread Pattern #6032

FIRST MOTIF ... Starting at center, ch 10, join with sl st.

Ist rnd: 18 sc in ring; do not join.

2nd rnd: Sc in each sc around; join.

3rd rnd: Ch 3, dc in same place as sl st, 2 dc in each sc around. Join to 3rd ch of ch-3.

4th rnd: Sc in same place as sl st, (ch 6, skip 2 dc, sc in next sc) 11 times, ch 3, dc in lst sc made.

5th rnd: Sc in loop just completed, (ch 6, sc in next loop) 11 times, ch 3, dc in lst sc made.

6th rnd: Sc in loop just completed; (ch 7, sc in next loop) 11 times, ch 7, sl st in Ist sc made.

7th rnd: Sl st in next 2 ch, sc in loop, ch 4; in same loop make 3 tr, ch 3 and 4 tr. * Ch 3, 2 sc in next loop, ch 3. In next loop make 4 tr, ch 3, and 4 tr. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 3, sl st in 4th ch of ch-4.

8th rnd: Sl st in next 3 tr and in next sp, ch 4. In same sp as last sl st make 3 tr, ch 3 and 4 tr. * Ch 4, sc in next sp, sc in next 2 sc, sc in next sp, ch 4. In next ch-3 sp (between tr-groups) make 4 tr, ch 3 and 4 tr. Repeat from * around, joining last ch-4 to 4th ch of ch-4.

9th rnd: Sl st in next 3 tr and in next sp, ch 4. In same sp as last sl st make 3 tr, ch 3 and 4 tr. * Ch 4, sc in next sp, ch 4, skip 11 sc, sc in next 2 sc, ch 4, sc in next sp, ch 4. In next sp between tr-groups make 4 tr, ch 3 and 4 tr. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 4, sl st in 4th ch of ch-4.

10th rnd: Sl st in next 3 tr and in next sp. In same sp make (sc, ch 4) 3 times and sc. * Ch 6, half dc in next sp, dc in next sp, ch 2. Between next 2 sc make tr, ch 4 and tr; ch 2, dc in next sp, half dc in next sp, ch 6. In sp between tr-groups make (sc, ch 4) 3 times and sc. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 6, sl st in Ist sc made.

11th rnd: Sl st in next 2 ch of ch-4 loop, sc in loop, * ch 4, in next loop make sc, ch 4 and sc. Ch 4, sc in next loop, ch 4, sc in next sp. Ch 4, skip next half dc and the dc, make sc in next sp, ch 4. In next sp make sc, ch 4 and sc. Ch 4, sc in next sp, ch 4, skip next dc and the half dc; sc in next sp, ch 4, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around. Join last ch-4 to Ist sc made. Fasten off.

SECOND MOTIF ... Work first 10 rnds as for first motif. 11th rnd: Sl st in next 2 ch of ch-4 loop, sc in loop, ch 4. In next loop make sc, ch 4 and sc. Ch 2, sl st in corresponding loop of first motif, ch 2, sc in next loop on motif in work, ch 4, sc in next sp. Ch 4, skip next half dc and the dc; make sc in next sp. Ch 4, sc in next sp, ch 2, sl st in corresponding loop on adjacent motif, ch 2, sc in same loop on motif in work as last sc was made. Ch 4, sc in next sp, ch 4, skip next dc and the half dc, sc in next sp, ch 4, sc in next loop, ch 2, sl st in corresponding loop on first motif, ch 2. In next loop on motif in work make sc, ch 4 and sc. Complete rnd as for first motif.

Make necessary number of motifs (see diagram), and join as second motif was joined to first. For single size spread, omit motifs to left of heavy line.

Block to measurements given.
